I currently live in Seattle and work as a Product Manager for Meta (Facebook). I spend a lot of my time traveling, doing pole, and learning about design!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel in the most authentic and rewarding way. To make travel a lifestyle, not just a hobby. I believe there is a fundamental and ideological different between being a tourist and being a traveler.

Hosting is a natural response to my experience surfing. I am eternally grateful to those who have opened up their homes to me and must continue to spread that special type of love and kindness. I want to contribute to the support of this community and to all of those individuals still on the road. Hosting is my way of saying "thank you" to all those who once hosted me.
